Hello, I have been transplanted since 3 weeks and in order to favor regrowth and enjoy the other benefits on the scalp I would like to put some peppermint oil on my whole head and so in the transplanted hair (3-8 drops of peppermint oil mixed with a tbsp of coconut or jojoba or olive oil 6x per weeks) as replacement of minoxidil as i don't want to make my hair addicted and dependant on minox.
